clasp login from Gitpod

[Vijay Tailor]

I had an issue using clasp login from within Gitpod and after messing about with it, I found a solution, so I'm sharing it here. 

Problem:

Loading an AppsScript project from Github into Gitpod for the first time. After the container is set up, I wanted to use clasp in order to create a new testing project, so I started off with clasp login, of course. 

After following the login URL into a new tab and logging in with my Google account, I couldn't redirect back into localhost, as expected by the login workflow. 

Initially, I tried to use clasp login --no-localhost, but Google doesn't support that login method anymore, because it is considered unsafe. 

Solution:

Do everything normally:

• clasp login
• Open URL in new tab
• Login with Google
• Trying to redirect

Here's the trick:

• Copy the redirect URL from the browser address bar
• Go back to Gitpod
• Open a new terminal
• Run this: curl <pasted redirect URL>
• Close this terminal
• You are logged in to Clasp

That's it! From here everything is normal and you can use Clasp normally in your project

 I hope it helps someone

Kind regards,

Glad you found it useful. I suspected this might be a problem someone else has come across, especially now, when dockerization has become a practical must for development environments
